NAME
       probes::Radius - a RADIUS authentication probe for
       SmokePing

DESCRIPTION
       This probe measures RADIUS (RFC 2865) authentication
       latency for SmokePing.  The username to be tested is spec-
       ified in the target-specific variable `username'.  The
       password can be specified either in the target-specific
       variable `password' or in an external file. The location
       of this file is given in the probe-specific variable
       `passwordfile'. See probes::passwordchecker(3pm) for the
       format of this file (summary: colon-separated triplets of
       the form `<host>:<username>:<password>')

       The RADIUS protocol requires a shared secret between the
       server and the client. This secret can be specified in the
       target-specific variable `secret' or in an external file.
       This external file is located by the probe-specific vari-
       able `secretfile', and it should contain whitespace-sepa-
       rated pairs of the form `<host> <secret>'. Comments and
       blank lines are OK.

       If the optional probe-specific variable `nas_ip_address'
       is specified, its value is inserted into the authentica-
       tion requests as the `NAS-IP-Address' RADIUS attribute.

       The probe tries to be nice to the server and sleeps for
       the probe-specific variable `sleeptime' (one second by
       default) between each authentication request.

BUGS
       There should be a more general way of specifying RADIUS
       attributes.
